I actually don't mind Google Ads because I rather often see ads for obscure products that I find interesting and wouldn't have otherwise come across - that's almost the textbook definition of what advertising is supposed to do.
But then there are the obnoxious, foul, impolite ads full of auto-playing videos, sound, mail order brides, scammy fake "download" buttons next to the "real" download button.... and because of these things that pollute my consciousness, I'll forsake the google ads as well.
- terlisimo 14y agoYou don't have to forsake interesting ads, ABP has "acceptable ads" policy and I think it's enabled by default. You can, of course, customize the list.
- pedrogrande 14y agoIf you right-click the AdBlock Plus icon in your browser and choose options, the first option on the General tab reads "I like the text ads on Google search results; show me those." That's what I do.
